Lexus of Watertown to Throw Oct. 23 Launch Party for New 2013 LS 460

WATERTOWN, MASS. (10/22/2012)(readMedia)-- During the past year, Lexus has been revamping its lineup with more aggressive styling and sportier handling, and this month the automaker's flagship LS is getting its turn with the arrival of an all-new 2013 model. To welcome the redesigned luxury sedan, Greater Boston Lexus dealership Lexus of Watertown is hosting a 2013 LS 460 Launch Party this Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Lexus of Watertown will be offering cocktails and hors d'oeuvres to attendees as they check out the expressive design of the 2013 Lexus LS 460, which features a new family spindle grille. Inside, the new LS 460 has received more high-quality materials, including additional stitched leather trim and soft-touch surfaces. Drivers can also stay comfortably connected with a new standard high-resolution 12.3-inch multimedia display and navigation system.

"When the Lexus LS debuted 23 years ago, it changed the landscape of the luxury market, and the new model will again shake up its segment with bolder styling, added comfort and improved performance," said Vincent Liuzzi, general manager of Lexus of Watertown. "The 2013 Lexus LS has a look that is just as engaging as its ride, and we're thrilled to celebrate its arrival with our customers."

With greater body rigidity, the 2013 Lexus LS offers improved stability, handling and overall ride comfort compared to its predecessor. Steering has also been revised to boost turn-in response and accuracy, while the braking system has been tweaked to provide power more quickly and enhance pedal feel. By using the new standard Drive Mode Select, Lexus LS drivers can also choose between Eco, Normal and Sport modes to adjust the ride for their preferred mix of performance and fuel efficiency.

For Lexus LS buyers that want an extra dose of style and performance, the LS 460 F SPORT is being introduced for the 2013 model year and will go on sale next month. Featuring upgrades like a sport-tuned air suspension, Brembo six-piston caliper brakes and a Torsen limited slip rear differential on rear-wheel-drive models, the 2013 Lexus LS F SPORT is designed for optimum responsiveness. That sporty approach continues inside the cabin, with bolstered F SPORT seats, paddle shifters on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and aluminum trim.

"The LS F SPORT is a great example of how Lexus is making an aggressive appeal to the hearts of driving enthusiasts," added Liuzzi. "The car uses unique design cues to build upon the sportier style of the new LS, and it backs up that style with incredible handling and response."
